What does SBU mean to you?
SBU changed my life.
Tips for success during graduate school at SBU:
My master's degree is from SBU! While in graduate school, I worked full-time in a
position requiring substantial traveling. Organization and communication were key
to both. One of the main reasons I wanted to work in Graduate and Worldwide Admissions
was to have a platform like this to tell everyone about the opportunities here. SBU’s
professors designed these programs with working professionals like you and me in mind.

What career would a degree in Health Sciences benefit?
A degree in Health Sciences prepares you to enter the healthcare world through a variety
of career paths. A bachelor's degree in Health Science is a great launch into an
advanced degree in Physical Therapy, Physician Assisting, Nurse Practitioners, Healthcare
Administration, or Pharmacy. An associate's degree in Health Science is a great foundation
for a career in Clinic Management, Electronic Health Care, or Ancillary Healthcare
Services.
